Old Forester Birthday Bourbon


Tasting Notes

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Aged 12 years (Barreled 2003 and Bottled 2015)

100 Proof

14th Limited Edition

Color: Mahogany
Nose: Oak, Caramel, Spice, and Dark Fruit
Taste: Cola, Leather, Anise, and Toasted Nuts
Body: Medium
Finish: Nice burn and the posterior palate with a pleasant mint aftertaste
Personality: George Garvin Brown

Impression: We like this bourbon especially the high rye content. Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is a once a year special release that first started in 2002. We realize that every year Birthday Bourbon will be unique and never to be duplicated but that is what makes this bourbon so special. This bourbon is outstanding especially when you consider the price point. Your average whiskey drinker may never have even heard of Old Forster Birthday Bourbon, but we recommend that you buy it when you find it in your local store. We anticipate this as much as we anticipate the BTAC releases each fall.
